A very good read and an excellant example of the mentality that exists amongst those students in Korea. I had a friend who would not live in a community where there was a good chance that his kids would have to go to school with Chinese kids, he was afraid that they would make his kids look stupid because the Chinese kids were so much smarter than the American kids. I told him that it was not the fact that they were so much smarter it was just that they worked a lot harder at it. I have no idea as to what life in Korea is like today but 35 yrs ago when I was there you could tell that it was a hard life for the majority of Koreans, I do not recall their having a middle class.
